Players are often complimented for taking on the personality of their head coach.

But the Grizzlies’ process of hiring a head coach to replace the recently fired Dave Joerger is moving like Memphis All-Star center Marc Gasol on offense. The search continues to be deliberate and plodding without any regard to a clock.

A decision on whom the Griz will offer their head coaching job doesn’t appear imminent even as the other three NBA teams with openings have settled on a coach.

“We’ve never put a timetable on the search from the beginning, and we don’t have one now,” Griz general manager Chris Wallace said. “When we have a guy, we’ll have a guy.”

Memphis spoke to former Griz coach Lionel Hollins and ex-Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel, who reportedly agreed in principle Thursday to take over the Orlando Magic.

While other teams have landed experienced head coaches, Griz officials are focusing on veteran assistant coaches.

Multiple reports indicate that San Antonio Spurs assistant James Borrego is a front-runner for the Griz job. Miami Heat associate head coach David Fizdale is receiving strong consideration as is Portland assistant Nate Tibbetts.

Wallace wouldn’t comment on candidates but said it is possible the Griz could conduct more interviews.

“I’ve enjoyed this search. It’s been very beneficial to myself and the organization,” Wallace said. “It gives you an opportunity to meet a number of people from the coaching side and have in-depth conversations that wouldn’t occur otherwise. You get a good sense of all of the talent that’s out there.”

Borrego is the only known assistant candidate with NBA head-coaching experience. He was Orlando’s interim head coach for 30 games after the firing of Jacque Vaughn during the 2014-15 season.

Borrego was credited with improved the Magic’s defense while compiling a 10-20 record. Borrego worked his way up from the video room in the Spurs’ organization to the coaching staff. He joined New Orleans as an assistant coach in 2010 before moving to Orlando.

Borrego returned to San Antonio this season after two-plus seasons as a lead assistant with Orlando.

Wallace eventually will recommend a hire for Griz owner Robert Pera to meet and sign off on.

“Robert is apprised of everything that is occurring at every of the step of the process,” Wallace said.

The Grizzlies still employ the assistants who worked under Joerger. They each have one year remaining on their contract. Whoever replaces Joerger will be allowed to hire his own staff.

Memphis, though, gave permission to the Houston Rockets to speak with former Joerger assistant Jeff Bzdelik. ESPN.com reported the Rockets made it clear that the team is looking for an associate head coach to work alongside projected head coach Mike D’Antoni.

Houston essentially is looking for a defensive coordinator, and defense is Bzdelik’s strength.

Meanwhile, Wallace declined to discuss criteria for the Grizzlies’ new coach or whether the franchise is looking for a similar package deal with an associate head coach on the bench.

“We’re giving an awful lot of thought and effort into the process,” Wallace said.
